A Dairy Meeting 
Mr. Mapes asks the non-poolers to 
raise a capital stock of $10,000,000 and 
join the pool. Mr. Rhodes says that the 
non-pool association is the logical place 
for all .milk producers. to gather. A 
country resident' advocates a general 
clean-up. Others recommend a producers’ 
milk conference hoard, a milk arbitrator 
and to resurrect the old league. After 
you sift out all propaganda and abuse 
the foregoing is all there is left in the 
pan of any value. 
What are ive going to make out of the 
dairy discussions that have been carried on 
for some time in The R. N.-Y.? Would 
it not be advisable to discuss these dif¬ 
ferent propositions to see which one 
would be the most feasible, or study out 
what combinations could be recommended 
with the get-together proposition in view? 
The Madison County dairymen are try¬ 
ing to do this. They had called a meeting 
at Morrisville. X. Y., for February 23. 
but on account of being blockaded by 
snow that day, the meeting was adjourned 
and a committee consisting of one non- 
pooler, one pooler and the county agent 
was appointed to recall the meeting. 
This committee has now announced that 
this meeting is called for March 20, 1:30 
P. M., at Morrisville, N. Y. The county 
agent will preside over the meeting. 
Dairymen from all over the State are 
welcome. It is a general get-together 
meeting, the fundamental principles of 
milk production and milk marketing will 
be discussed. .John anperson. 
Comparing Dairy Breeds 
Have you statistics which give the 
amount of milk that a good Holstein, 
Guernsey and Jersey cow should produce 
annually, also the high producing rec¬ 
ords? As to food value same quantity of 
milk, which is considered to have the 
most value? I am under the impression 
that I read once that while the Holstein 
did not have the butterfat, that from life- 
giving properties this breed was very 
high. w. G. 
South Carolina. 
The average production on a year basis 
for the dairy cows in this country runs 
between 5.000 and 6.000 lbs. In attempt¬ 
ing to compare breeds of dairy cattle on 
a basis of production and butterfat, it 
will be fair to say that Holstein milk 
tests between 3 and ?>y 2 per cent; Gueru-- 
sey mill: from 4y 2 to o x / 2 per cent; Jer¬ 
sey mill from 5 to 6 per cent; and Ayr¬ 
shire milk 4 per cent. 
Manifestly Holsteins produce the great¬ 
est quantity of milk. It is not unreason¬ 
able to expect a Holstein cow to produce 
10,000 lbs. of milk in a year, and rec¬ 
ords aie available showing that represen¬ 
tatives of this breed produce between 30,- 
000 and 35.000 lbs. of milk in a year. 
As for the Guernsey and Jerseys the 
records show that the Guernseys will 
produce slightly more milk than the Jer¬ 
seys and it is reasonable to expect an 
average representative of these two 
breeds to produce 7,000 lbs. of milk in a 
year. In only a few instances have rep¬ 
resentatives of these two breeds produced 
more than 20.000 lbs. of milk in a 
year. 
The Ayshire breed ranks between the 
Guernseys and Holsteins so far as quan¬ 
tity is concerned, but their butterfat will 
run, as stated; pretty close to 4 per 
cent. Comparing the product of these 
breeds of cattle in another way, let us 
say that the fat globules of the Jerseys 
are the largest; that they are especially 
adapted for the production of butter; 
that Guernsey milk is not only rich in 
butterfat but it is of an attractive golden 
color and is sold in many localities at a 
premium on account of its quality and 
color. Ayrshire milk has the approval 
of many physicians for infant feeding 
for the fat globules are small and the per¬ 
centage of butterfat is such as adapts it 
readily for such purposes. 
There is so much variation among rep¬ 
resentatives of the breeds within the 
breeds themselves that one can scarcely 
compare the relative value of the several 
breeds. There is no blinking the fact, 
however, that where one is producing 
market milk and where he does not re- 
plified. 
not supporting the argument that butter-

of those animals. 
son will undoubtedly be there with some¬ 
thing of great interest to the dairymen 
of New Jersey and adjoining States. 
After the banquet the dairy students will 
conduct the “Rutgers Little National.” 
The seniors and juniors are holding a 
mock sale and show to give the boys ma¬ 
joring in dairying practice in fitting, 
training and preparing animals for the 
show ring and at the same time practice 
in estimating the true value of the ani¬ 
mals. Cups and prizes will be awarded 
to the boys who fit. train and show their 
animals to the best advantage. 
Jhe second day will be consumed 
mostly by the purebred Holstein sale. 
Every dairyman, breeder and farmer is 
most cordially invited to attend. 
Connecting Milking Machine with Pneu¬ 
matic Water System 
Can a vacuum tank milking machine 
outfit be converted into a pneumatic wa 
ter system for a house? G. a. w. 
As you know, the conditions in the two 
cases are directly opposite. The pump of 
the milking machine exhausts the air 
from the tank creating a vacuum, while in 
the case of the pneumatic water system 
air is pumped into the tank, compressing 
it. Possibly a man with sufficient time, 
ingenuity and tools could make this 
change, but I would not expect it to op¬ 
erate satisfactorily. The valves of the air 
pump would have to be changed to open 
m the other direction, and some method 
of cooling the pump would be required as 
well, as heat is released when air is com¬ 
pressed. The vacuum tank would be too 
small for a compressed air storage tank, 
and altogether I would expect the outfit, 
even if made to work at all, to give more 
trouble than service. It would seem that 
the best method of converting it is to sell 
and turn the purchase price in toward a 
satisfaction pumping plant. r. it. s.
